Senior Software and Data Engineer

Introduction

We’re looking for a high-calibre Senior Software and Data Engineer to join a fast-paced, high-volume digital platform environment.

This is not a traditional dev role — it sits at the intersection of: • Software Engineering • Data Engineering • Financial Transactions & Reconciliation

Your work will directly impact transaction accuracy, financial integrity, and real-time system reliability.

Duties & Responsibilities

Nice to Have: • Experience in banking integrations, payment gateways, or reconciliation systems. • Knowledge of data validation, error handling, and logging best practices. • Understanding of security and compliance in financial data handling.

We are specifically looking for an all-rounder who can: • Think like a software engineer AND a data engineer • Understand the movement of money, not just data • Debug issues across multiple systems end-to-end • Operate comfortably in high-volume, real-time environments • Take full ownership of problems — not just tasks

Big advantage if you have: • Experience with banking integrations / payment gateways • Exposure to wallet systems, ledgers, or betting platforms • Cloud experience (Azure / AWS) • Messaging/streaming (Kafka, RabbitMQ) • Experience working in fintech or high-transaction environments

Desired Experience & Qualification

Required Skills: • Strong proficiency in Python for scripting and automation. • Solid understanding of SQL for querying and manipulating structured data. • Experience working with RESTful APIs (consuming and integrating). • Familiarity with data pipelines, ETL processes, or integration workflows. • Exposure to financial systems, wallets, or transactional platforms is a plus.
